Press command-shift-j while focussed on the message. This toggles the marking "junk' and "not junk". You may have to move it as well by going into the message menu, the move menu and move it to another mailbox. htH, Teresa On the other hand, there are different fingers. On Mar 2, 2014, at 8:23

junk mail that isn't really?

Hi all: I have a few emails in my junk mail folder that aren't actually junk. I'm sure there's a way to tell mail that they're not junk, but I can't figure out exactly how to do it. Any assistance in this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. DFTBA! John D. Lipsey johnl1.

Hello All, I'll start with TapTapSee first. As others have said, one needs to be a good picture taker to use the app well without wasting the picture count. I have used TapTapSee to recognize T-shirts with writing or a motif on it. After it has been recognized, I use the Looktel Recognizer app

I like it quite a lot as well. It is great for identifying groceries. You do sometimes have to move whatever you are looking at, of course, if you are not pointed at the right section of a box or jar, but this is equally true for having to take pictures. It is very quick and no picture-taking

2014-03-02 Thread Alex Hall
In 10.9.1 and below, the pronunciation was way different. Pronouncing "to" like "two" or "for" like "four" throws the stress of the word off, and causes things to sound very different. If possible, have a Nuance voice in anything below 10.9.2 speak this: I am going to the store for some milk. No

Hello Gigi, Yes, I still use Talking Goggles and it works great for me. I use it in video mode and hold it about a foot away from whatever I'm trying to identify. One thing you have to remember about Goggles is that it won't work if your iPhone is on silent, as it is self-voicing. I use it to i

Hi Alex, I don't know where you are from, but this is a dialect issue, not a problem with the nuance voice. As I would speak those words, there is no difference between to and two, or for and four. Obviously in some regions of the U.S., that isn't the case (not sure about this situation in ot

Hi all, I don't usually forward Apple's responses, as they are all the same. This one is different, though, and I'm curious to see how many of you agree. Personally, I find the Nuance voices in 10.9.2 speak "to" and "for" as numbers, and this throws off the speech quite a bit. It also makes ever
